I'll try that and make double sure I've removed the sound support from
the kernel.

Yes.

   [rgg@dell48]$ cd /proc/asound/
   [rgg@dell48]$ foreach file ( * */* )

   foreach? cat $file

Doesn't look good.  I don't see the card/chip there.

So I read.  Hopefully the next version of XFree86 will have support
and be available soon.

Thanks,
